The Festival is the only Independence Day celebration held within
Our event traditionally hosts two parades on July 4th, one for children and a traditional parade in the afternoon, including music, baton twirlers, drill teams and community themed floats. We also host an assortment of family themed contests such as a Miss Friendship Festival Beauty Pageant, a Pie Baking contest, Talent Show, Fishing contest, Beautiful Baby contest, Kid’s Day and more. We also showcase local bands daily and have Firework displays all of these events are free to the public. As you can see we like to provide wholesome activities for everyone and hope you can help make our event a success.
